Death of a Neighborhood Witch
Death of a Neighborhood Witch | Laura Levine
17 posts | 8 read | 11 to read
Reprinted Edition "I'm crazy about Laura Levine's mystery series. Her books are so outrageously funny." --Joanne Fluke When Jaine Austen's beloved cat Prozac unwittingly scares to death a parakeet belonging to the neighborhood's resident curmudgeon, Jaine finds herself knee-deep in toil and trouble. The cantankerous Hollywood has-been once played Cryptessa Muldoon, television's fourth most famous monster mom. Now she spends her days making enemies with everyone on the block. So when the ornery D-lister is murdered with her own Do Not Trespass sign on Halloween night, the neighborhood fills with relief--and possible culprits. With a killer on the loose, Jaine hardly has time to fall under the spell of her yummy new neighbor, Peter. As the prime suspect, she summons her sleuthing skills to clear her name and soon discovers that everyone has a few skeletons in their closets. . . "Levine's latest finds her at her witty and wacky best." --Kirkus Reviews "Cozy fans will enjoy seeing how Jaine wiggles out of this one." --Publishers Weekly

Mehso-so

When former actress Cryptessa is killed with the stake of the "Do Not Tresspass" sign from her yard through her heart, one of her neighbors is a suspect. But, all of them had recent arguments with Cryptessa, so it could have been any of them.

CogsOfEncouragement I like this series so much. The emails with her folks are always a fun second plot. I think this was the book I started with. I‘ve read several out of order and they are written in a way that it really doesn‘t matter. 3mo
CoffeeNBooks @CogsOfEncouragement I'm so glad to hear good things about this! I don't think I've read any in this series before- but I keep picking books for #SeasonalCozies that I don't end up liking, so I hope this one will be a pick and I'll finish reading it! 😁 3mo
julieclair That cover is so fun! 3mo

First book down!

This was a cute little mystery. Jaine is a character after my own heart and even though the mystery was very, very easy to solve the general craziness of the neighborhood kept me invested.

This one counts towards #cyoreadathon #bookspinbingo #screamathon and #sbooktober

I'm only counting points for books now and will tally hours the end of the week 🎃

Super funny murder mystery. It's Halloween themed too so extra points! It counts as a book with a witch for #ScaryScavengerHunt and amateur sleuth for #bookishbingo

I feel like this is true for all adults at Halloween. We swear we are buying the candy for the trick or treaters, then eat it ourselves 🤣🤣🤣

I love fall weather and reading in front of the fireplace.

Clwojick Agreed! I normally sit on the floor directly in front of the fireplace, with a cat in my lap 5y
